Eye Witness

Many only believe what they see with their own eyes.
But can ones eyes lie?
Can a person only be assumed to be seeing that which they have already determined they are seeing?
Any normal person would state that the above image is just a series of static dots forming a fractal.
But the same person would interpret the same series of dots in the center of the image dots as moving outward.

One usually ascribes a value to an image which roughly matches that which they have already seen (or imagined themselves to have seen.) from their brain's stored image gallery.
Where one person might see a stand of trees with falling leaves - others would ascribe a female image to the same photo.

Our eyes really don't see a sharp well-defined image.
We don't see in HDTV.
What we often do is match an image (a bunch of seemingly random curved objects) to that which we may already know (a woman).
We create the image of a woman in our minds - in reality, these are just a bunch of curved objects.
So,
Going back a few posts;
Is our image of God only our image of God.
Is God something (or Someone) totally different?
